or 'elle a les cheveux longs et blond'. I wonder if 2 of the following are correct also?
elle a des cheveux longs et blonds
elle a les longs cheveux blonds
There seems to be a subtle difference between en même temps and à la fois when expressing "at the same time"; can you state the general rule?
Are there any more examples you could give us? I used the direct object le with the apostrophe and it was marked wrong. How can we tell what word should be accented? Is ça always correct as opposed to le, la? In other words, are there certain times when the direct object must be before the verb or certain times when it has to be after the verb? Thank you.
"Mais saviez vous que..."
I am a bit confused here.. why saviez and not savez? In English we often say "did you.." but that is a quirk and actually means "do you?" and it is heard as present tense. I see saviez as "did you use to know".. implying that you might have forgotten.. This is clearly an active question and I thought that French was more particular than that on its use of tenses.
To get the meaning "listen to him" = "lui écouter". Is it appropriate?. Request clarification
